SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.' 277,568, dated May 15, 1883.

Application tiled January 27, 1853. (No model.)

To all whom it muy concern: t

Be it known that I, OBADIAH HENDRICK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Macon,

in the county of Noxubee and State ot Missis-4 sippi, have invented a new and useful Syringe for Injecting Medicated Fluids, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings. I

This invention relates to syringes for injecting medicated lluids hypoderrnically or otherwise; and itconsist's in certain improvements in the construction of the same, which will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings hereto annexed, Figure 1 is a perspective view ot' my improved syringe having a hypodermic needle'. Fig. 2 is a' longitudinal sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 isa perspective View ofthe body ofthe syringe with the point or nozzle detached, and Fig. 4 illustratesdiit'erent styles of points or nozzles.

The sanne letters refer to the saine parts in all the figures.

A in the drawings designates the body of my improved syringe, which consists of a hollow block of hard rubber or othersuitable material, having at its upper end an annularlygrooved neck, B, upon which is secured a bulb, B, ot soft rubber. The lower end ofthe block or body A is provided with a screwthreaded stem or shank, C, to receive the point or nozzle, which may either, as in Figs. l and 2, -be a hypodermic needle, or it may be any ofthe nozzles shown in Fig. 4, which are adapted to various medical uses. Between the butt-end ot' the needle or nozzle and the body A a washer, D, may be interposed, so as to form a tight joint. The block or body A is inade square in cross-section, as shown in the drawings, and the nozzles and needles, which are denoted by letter E, have buttends, which are likewise square in cross-section, so as to register with the end of the body, as shown. device may be more readilyhandled or manipulatedthan when made round or of other shapes, and when the device is not in use and is placed temporarily upon the table it will rest up'on the body and the butt-end ot' the nozzle, the point of the latter being kept oi`1E from contact with the table or other surface.

l This device is exceedingly simple and convenient for administering injections, llypodermically or otherwise, to either human beings or animals. `rIhe method of using the device is obvious. y

I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patentot' the United Statesl. The combination of a hollow block or body square in cross-section, having at its upper end an annularly-grooved neel; and at its lower. end a screw-threaded stem or shank, an elastic bulb secured upon the said grooved neck, and a nozzle having a. female-threaded butt-end, by which it may be secured upon the said body, as s et forth.

2. In a syringe, the herein-described body, consisting ot' a hollow block square in crosssection, and having at one end an annularlygrooved neck, upon which an elastic bulb is secured, and at the other end means for attaching a nozzle, as set forth.

' 3. The oombination,with the herein-described body, square in crosssecti'on, and having at one end an elasticbulb, ot' a nozzle having a butt-end square in cross-section, and adapted to be attached to and registering with the lower end ofthe said body, as set forth.

` ln testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
